Scientists make first-of-its-kind discovery that could help create ultra-futuristic batteries: 'We ran with it'
Northwestern University's researchers made a breakthrough with TPPO, a waste byproduct, developing a redox-flow battery.
Finding cheaper, reliable materials as an alternative to those in common packs — that power most electric vehicles and other tech — could be a huge development in our transition to cleaner energy and transportation systems. "This is the first instance of utilizing phosphine oxides … as the redox-active component in battery research," lead study author, Assistant Professor Christian Malapit, said in the release. "Our discovery showcases the potential of transforming waste compounds into valuable resources, offering a sustainable pathway for innovation in battery technology," Malapit said in the release.
